Locanda del Gallo, a charming establishment with roots tracing back to the 12th century, offers a truly tranquil escape within the magnificent Umbrian hills between Gubbio and Perugia. This historic country house, meticulously restored in 1995, exudes a peaceful and calm atmosphere, blending rustic Italian architecture with a unique oriental style, featuring antique tiles, wooden beams, and exquisite carved hardwood furniture collected from distant travels. Surrounded by 28 hectares of lush gardens, terraced lawns, and woodland, the locanda commands panoramic views, making it a secluded and utterly wonderful setting.
The cuisine at this remarkable retreat is celebrated for its healthy and organic approach, with many ingredients sourced directly from the kitchen garden and olive grove on site. Guests can savour excellent traditional homemade local dishes, lovingly prepared and beautifully presented, often enjoying meals in the elegant dining room or al fresco in the garden overlooking the mountains. Expect a delightful variety of Mediterranean-inspired fare, from freshly baked breads and cakes at breakfast to a four-course tasting menu in the evening, all complemented by an impressive wine selection.
This idyllic locanda is ideally suited for those seeking profound relaxation and quietude, away from the bustle of city life. It provides a perfect backdrop for a rejuvenating holiday or a peaceful retreat, attracting guests who appreciate serene surroundings and thoughtful hospitality. While it offers a grown-up, tranquil ambiance, it also welcomes families and can cater to special occasions such as anniversaries, offering a blend of unwinding moments by the pool, invigorating walks, and restorative spa treatments.
